What's on the agenda for this fall, folks?
I still haven't quite been able to jump in on some Tat monsters (little or pudgy) but I might just have to try and get some for this Halloween.

What's on the agenda for this fall, folks?
I still haven't quite been able to jump in on some Tat monsters (little or pudgy) but I might just have to try and get some for this Halloween.
I'm thinking about burning through some coffined smokes I have to make room for other boxes...Stradivarius, Angel's Share Toro, Cohiba Diamante, and a Culebra from Bobalu. Then maybe the tubos. Aside from those, I'm going to start working on my oldest cigars now, and let the new ones get some rest.
Now that is a man with a plan! And it sounds like a damn fine one to boot.Quote:

My fall plan? Enjoy whatever, paired with whatever, until it's too cold out. Then come back inside and put a good $15 filter in the central unit, one that filters smoke, and continue smoking whatever lol
Hopefully your Bobalu experience is better than mine. I tried like 3 of their lines and wasn't too impressed by the end of the 5ers. Also worth noting their "oscuro" leaves your fingers purple with dye. Never again.Quote:

I have some Cohiba red dots that have 1.5 years on them that I feel I need to smoke, otherwise I'll keep smoking others that I like more, or ones I haven't tried, and the Cohibas will just keep getting older. Unless that's not a problem, what do you think?
I'd say it's worth sacrificing one to the flame to see how they are doing. When was the last time you smoked one?Quote:

I've got some Boli PCs and BBfs from 07 that I have to start tackling. Time to re up my Boli stash as I've not purchased cigars in over a year. Cooler weather hopefully equals more time sitting by the campfire enjoying cigars. BoliS are my go to stick, just love them.
I have been buying and stocking up on short smokes. I love this fall weather and have been neglecting my lancers during the heat and humidity of the summer. Lately has been perfect weather for being outside and enjoying a cigar in comfort. I haven't had a lancero for at least 4 months and it's time to change that while the short winter smokes get happy.
I hear what you're saying, NC Cohibas are pretty expensive for the profile, which is why I only bought a 5er as part of a sampler when I discovered CI. I've never had a CC Cohiba so I have nothing to compare against. While I remember the NC being pretty good, my palate has evolved over my short smoking life (~3 years) so who knows what I'll think of it now.Quote:

I was thinking the same thing as I went through this thread, perfect time for some lanceros before it gets to cold to sit outside for 2 hoursQuote:

I never looked down my nose at them, but you should get 2-3 at the price point they're asking. They're higher than the Hubble Telescope....Quote:

Well then, hey there my newest buddy!Quote:

I have some 08 Mag 50s that one of will probably become a new years smoke, along with a few other larger sticks I wouldn't normally smoke any other time of the year.
